Agreed. That won't teach Walmart anything, but anyone who does try this "tactic" will likely get a quick lesson in the justice system, and deservedly so.
I don't mind paying Walmart to purchase a product. What I do mind is their raising the price for that product by 40% in less than 4 months, especially when they have been the best source of that product in my area prior to the price increases and inventory shortages.
And, do I need to remind you that they are Walmart (the largest retailer and largest toy retailer in the U.S., if not the world)? If they wish to, they will have GI Joe figures again in the near future, and likely many more than their closest competition, probably in the abundance that they have the comic packs now. Would you rather pay $6.84 or $5.44 for them when their pegs do fill again?
I have no problem shopping at Target and TRU either. I have bought figures and vehicles from them when they were available there and not at WM. But, up until recently, WM was the least expensive option - kind of important for those of us that have more than just their own mouths to feed and have to keep our hobbies on a relatively short leash.
Worth enough to me to write Walmart's corporate office to call them out on their price hike? Yes. Worth boycotting the store completely or stealing? Of course not.
